U.S. Presidents Up Through Taft: An Unusual Embroidered
Patchwork Quilt. The general format is a familiar one,
picturing the presidents up through the incumbent at the time it
was made (indeed, a more typical example up through Harding is also
included in this auction). But this is an unusual and complex
variant. Generally the portraits are embroidered onto a single
sheet of fabric, but in this case each portrait square and the red
divisions are all individual pieces of cloth sewn together as a
patchwork. In addition to the presidents, it depicts various
subjects, including historical ones (the Liberty Bell, Fulton's
steamboat The Claremont) and images from popular culture
(Buster Brown and Tige). In totality, this is the most impressive
example of this genre we have ever seen. The back is unfinished as
is often the case. Condition is excellent but for a little bit of
trivial staining noted strictly for accuracy. 80" x 81".

The pre and post sales experience was wonderful and flawless. Heritage has the best in-house operation I have ever seen and their people are not only professional but fun to work with, especially Steve C.

As for Heritage's online system… Yes the interface is more complex than what we are used to with SAN but what is behind that interface is amazing for sellers and buyers alike. It is real time and for a real serious auction buyer there is nothing better in the auction industry, bar none.
